A Dog-Shaped Children's Desk, Le Chien Savant, by Philippe Starck.





A recent addition to the Magis Me Too Collection, the children's arm of Magis Design, is Le Chien Savant.





Designed by Philippe Starck, Le Chien Savant is a children’s combination chair and desk in the shape of a dog that was inspired by C. Bavaud

"As a child I never liked school, but I loved dogs.
Should I had met this learned dog at that time, I would have become a scholar, too.
But I missed this occasion and unfortunately the learned dog now exists, but unfortunately only for children. Too late." - C. Bavaud



Le Chien Savant is made of rotational-molded polyethylene and available in five colors. Suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

If Dr. Seuss Were Your Decorator: Introducing Cartoon Furniture.





When it comes to unusual furniture, my post about Judson Beaumont's cartoon styled furniture for kids always gets a lot of attention. But he's not the only one making whimsical furniture for children's rooms.

Introducing a company actually named "Cartoon Furniture" whose fun products will make you feel as though you are living in an animated world. The brainchild of Randall and Sharon Porter, they combined their experiences as an architectural lighting designer and make-up artist to form Cartoon Furniture®.

The line includes dressers, bookcases, headboards, wall mirrors, side tables and even bulletin boards and a clock. They use only the finest woods and materials to manufacture their whimsical line. All the pieces are painted over and over until the finish is perfect using only the best non-toxic, lead-free and child-safety paint and finishes. Top, bottom, back and sides are all painted, there is no exposed wood. Their drawers slide on Swiss Stainless Steel Slides with ball-bearings and each drawer includes a safety stop to prevent the drawer from falling out completely.

Their furniture is so animated in its design, I half expect them to get up and dance away! Take a look at some of their pieces.

Headboards and footboards for beds:

They also have custom ordering options, so you can choose from several color combinations if you so desire:


All Cartoon Furniture® pieces are proudly manufactured in the USA under the strictest guidelines and specifications for years of enjoyment.

ODA & Argington Give Birth To New Children's Furniture



ODA (the Office of Design and Architecture) and Argington (a modern children's furniture manufacturer) have collaborated on some new children’s furniture- an easel and bassinet- which debuted at the New York Gift Fair earlier this month.

The collection utilizes natural earth friendly building materials in a simple clean and elegant form. Solid wood veneer in maple or walnut and stainless steel, these pieces are so pretty and clean and functional, I wish they made them in adult sizes!
